So this is probably the last ownCloud 4 package as version 5 is about to come in August.

It fixes a few bugs.

I have also done a few little things with the package. Since DSM 3.0 Synology uses a “config” file instead of the “application.cfg” to set links from the DSM to applications. But the construction of the config file is very badly documented (for example there is no description how to change the target port) in the official “3rd Party Apps Developer Guide” so I was always working with the old application.cfg. But now I have been analyzing many of the official package config files, found many undocumented properties and a working solution.

So, what’s different for you? Nothing but a larger icon in the DSM menu (48×48 instead of 36×36)

Beside this I have changed the way of providing the packages. Now there is a public Dropbox folder with all versions in it, so you can easily look for new version or install old versions when you’ve got problems with new ones. If you are already downloading via repo nothing will change, you will see all further updates in the DSM.

For some reason I am stuck in the implementation of adding existing folders to the file system of owncloud. Neither the creation of symlinks nor the official “Custom Mount Configuration” works. If you have found a proper solution for this, please post it here so I can see what I can do to implement it into the package.

My first aim is that every user can see and use the existing “public” folder in owncloud. If this works it won’t be that hard to add custom folders.

Until then you can – as always – download the updated package via repo or here:
